Chapter 171: Chapter 170: All Young Masters and Presidents_2
"Dean Li, do you know Qian Qi?"
Li Hongsheng shivered at the mention of the name, "What’s up, why are you suddenly asking about her?"
"She claims she’s found a way to treat Spiritual Power Disorder. Do you think she’s credible?" Shangguan Qi had quite a bit of trust in Li Hongsheng, despite him being poor, stingy, and constantly borrowing money. His dedication to research was something to be admired.
"What the heck?" Li Hongsheng was startled, "A way to treat Spiritual Power Disorder? Her?"
Seeing Li Hongsheng so surprised, Shangguan Qi thought Qian Qi might be a fraud, "I knew it, she looks pretty young and doesn’t seem like a medical student. How could she possibly create..."
"Hold on a second..." Li Hongsheng quickly interrupted, cautiously asking, "Did she ask you for money?"
"Huh?" Shangguan Qi was confused by what the old man meant, "What money?"
"Seems like she hasn’t..." Li Hongsheng mumbled something on the other end before telling Shangguan Qi meaningfully, "Little Qi, when you go to buy her medicine, don’t rush it. She has this bad habit of making random demands, so consult me first. I might be able to help you get the lowest price!"
"Remember that!" After saying that, Li Hongsheng promptly hung up the call.
Shangguan Qi scratched his head, Mr. Li was oddly kind, claiming he’d help him get the lowest price...
Wait a second, he was trying to gauge whether Qian Qi was trustworthy, how did it switch to talking about price?
However, seeing Li Hongsheng’s matter-of-fact demeanor, it seemed he was convinced Shangguan Qi would buy Qian Qi’s potion?
Shangguan Qi called Li Hongsheng again, only to find him not answering.
Meanwhile, in the room, Qian Qi received a Light Brain message from Li Hongsheng.
[Studying for the Rise of the Magic Plants]: Little Qian! The Shangguan Family is loaded!!! How about we make a dirty deal? A seventy-thirty split when we scam some money?
Qian Qi: ???
Mr. Li, you’re so scheming, does Shangguan Qi know?
Qian Qi looked at Shangguan Qi, who walked in scratching his head, and silently switched off the Light Brain, throwing him a sympathetic look.
"It’s not impossible to verify the potion’s safety, but time is tight. It still needs to go through clinical trials..." Shangguan Qi paced around the hospital room, frowning, "Where can I find suitable test subjects, and I can’t—"
His words stopped abruptly, "No, it might be possible, there must be someone willing to try!"
Shangguan Qi immediately turned to Qian Qi, "Explain this treatment potion to me in detail! Dosage,"
"You can only use 2 drops." Qian Qi pointed to the potion, explaining its dosage and effects in detail, then continued, "It’s administered via intrathecal injection. If you choose a patient, it’s best to select a B-level Spiritual Awakened."
"B-level, B-level will do... Hang on a sec!" Shangguan Qi quickly opened his Light Brain, calling his subordinate, "Send me the contact details of all surviving Pearl Plan B-level Commander family members. I need them right away!"
The Pearl Plan congregated Spiritual Power Disorder fighters and commanders at a medical base, signing confidentiality agreements and announcing their deaths, allowing families to visit once every six months. If they use them for drug trials, some families would take the gamble for a ’miracle’ to happen.
One hour later, Shangguan Qi, looking solemn, entered the sterile room with the treatment potion, watching as the surgery doctor carefully drew two drops into a small puncture needle and injected them into the chosen patient’s brain.
This B-level warrior commander suffered from a soul-lost type of Spiritual Power Disorder. Under anesthesia, it was easier to fall into a deep sleep, preventing any accidents during the puncture process.
While waiting for results, Qian Qi’s Light Brain buzzed again.
Thinking it was Li Hongsheng again, she opened it to find it was Su Ang instead.
She glanced at Sikong Wang wiping Shangguan Qing’s arm, turned and walked out of the ward, answering the call.
"Is it done?" A youthful, cool voice emanated from the Light Brain, carrying a hint of magnetism, "What’s the result?"
"Still waiting for results." Qian Qi lowered her head, her toe slightly tapping the wall in boredom, "Once I have the results, I’ll let you know."
"In three hours, I need to enter an instance, might be a month before I hear from you again." The young man unhurriedly stated his schedule, "So don’t block my Light Brain number again."
Qian Qi chuckled, "Sure."
"Oh, and," she remembered something and asked in a low, tentative voice, "Sikong Wang’s mother still needs more Magic God Grass, if you’ll need to get involved again..."
"Just reach out anytime."
"Senior Su, you’re such a good person!" Qian Qi was instantly moved to tears, "Wish you smooth sailing and success in the instance!"
Su Ang’s brow arched slightly; she used to call him silver-haired kid and youngster in the Gu Yun Mountain Dungeon. Now she needed something from him and changed her tune to good person and Senior Su?
For the first time in a while, Su Ang felt a bit of an interest in teasing her, "Qian Qi, as you know about the Spiritual Power Disorder, I expend spiritual power handling these things, shouldn’t there be some sort of effort fee?"
Nearby, the Su Family’s butler preparing gear glanced at Su Ang in confusion, never expecting their young master to ask for an effort fee from someone.
Qian Qi scratched her head, "...How much do you want?"
"My price isn’t cheap..." Su Ang lightly tapped his hand in thought, "At least..."
He deliberately paused, making Qian Qi’s heart skip a beat, quickly reminded, "I’m really poor right now! I’m not lying!"
The young man on the other end suddenly chuckled, "Why so nervous, I’m just joking."
Qian Qi: ???
Butler: ???
Joking? When did the young master learn to joke? Since his mother’s passing, he hadn’t seen the young master humorously joke with anyone!
The young master even laughed just now! A laugh that was so natural and sincere, not at all like the superficial and performative image he showed the media!
After hanging up, Su Ang got into the hovercar and headed to the predetermined instance. Meanwhile, the Su Family butler, waving a handkerchief, immediately opened the Light Brain solemnly after seeing the young master off.
"Hear me, everyone! In five minutes, I want all the information on someone named Qian Qi!!!"
He had to find out what kind of magic this Qian Qi possessed that could make the cold and unsociable young master learn to joke!!!
